QPA0016 Datasheet 15 Watt Gan Power Amplifier

Manufacturer: Qorvo

Overview: QPA0016 13.75 – 14.5 GHz 15 Watt GaN Power Amplifier Product Overview Qorvo's QPA0016 is a high power, packaged Ku-Band MMIC amplifier fabricated using Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN-on-SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA0016 targets the 13.75-14.5 GHz Sat band while providing 5-Watts of linear power with third-order intermodulation distortion products of 25 dBc. Furthermore, the QPA0016 can deliver output powers up to 15-Watts with 35 dB of small-signal gain and 32% power-added efficiency. The operating frequency can extend to 12.75-15.35 GHz if desired. To simplify system integration, the QPA0016 is fully matched to 50 ohms with DC grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD performance. Also, there are on-chip blocking capacitors following the DC grounds on the input and output ports. The QPA0016 is ideal for supporting munications and radar applications in both mercial and military markets. The QPA0016 is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure pliance to electrical specifications.
